She recently sparked concern with her dishevelled appearance in worrying new photos on Monday.
Taryn Manning, who is renowned for her starring roles in Orange Is The New Black and Crossroads alongside Britney Spears, looked a far cry from her glamorous red carpet looks.
And it’s not the first time the Hollywood actress, 46, has raised concern as she’s previously shocked fans with multiple bizarre rants and out of character Instagram posts.
Recently fans have feared if Taryn is on a downward spiral following a random dance video in her living room.
One wrote in her comments: ‘I love Taryn. But anyone else feel a little sick to their stomach watching this. Not sure why I feel that way. It’s like an anxious feeling.’
In 2023, Taryn was seen roaming around Palm Springs in her underwear while holding her dog.
It followed shortly after she defended convicted rapist Danny Masterson, who was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for the rapes of two women in the early 2000s.
She has also been in a long feud with her makeup artist Holly Hartman, whom have had a number of violent incidents over the years.
Here, MailOnline takes a look inside Taryn’s downward spiral.

Worrying new photos
Taryn looked markedly different from her previous public outings, looking unrecognizable as she posed at night while sitting on the trunk of a car with a Trump/Vance sticker on Monday.
She was far from her red carpet glamour, appearing disoriented and with a visible red scratch on her hand.
Taryn, who starred as Tiffany ‘Pennsatucky’ Doggett in the hit Netflix series, wore a white t-shirt featuring the logo of punk band Suicidal Tendencies.
A white zip-up hoodie jacket, which she paired with white joggers, partially covered her unkempt hair.
The 8 Mile star drew attention to a red mark on her hand while adjusting her sweatpants.
Bizarre rant about married man
In 2023, Taryn sparked concern after the star posted a three minute video detailing graphic sexual acts she had performed on an unnamed married lover – and later posted a statement apologising
She said she had an affair with a married man who originally claimed he would leave his wife, and she shared her video after he allegedly refused to do so. Taryn apologised for airing the conflict publicly and said she hoped to find a healthier relationship
In 2023, Taryn sparked concern after the star posted a three minute video detailing graphic sexual acts she had performed on an unnamed married lover – and later posted a statement apologising.
In the now-deleted clip, she detailed how she performed alleged sexual acts on the man, wanted to buy him a boat, and claimed his wife threatened her with a restraining order.
The Orange Is The New Black star, who played Tiffany Doggett in the Netflix show, shared a simple text post to her Instagram account in which she said she was dealing with ‘a lot of guilt’ from sharing the original video, in which she claimed the wife of the man she was allegedly having an affair with was trying to get a restraining order against her.
The clip particularly concerned many of her fans, as she filmed it in her car and was clearly slurring her words as she recorded it.
She included explicit descriptions of alleged sex acts with the man, including ‘l*****g his b******e because he liked it,’ and she described buying him a boat because she was so smitten with him.
‘Over the past few days, I’ve had some time to reflect on the situation I’ve been dealing with,’ she began her statement. ‘I was deeply hurt and handled things on a public platform when I should’ve just dealt with them quietly with the support of my close friends and family.’
Taryn went on to claim that she had been ‘deeply hurt’ and admitted she should have ‘just dealt’ with the issue ‘quietly with the support of my close friends and family,’ rather than posting on a ‘public platform.’
She even claimed that she considered just lying about the incident before allegedly coming clean.
‘I felt a lot of Guilt After exposing everything and thought maybe the best resolution to the situation would be to say I lied about it all, but that is not the truth,’ she continued.
‘She went on to say that she had begun an affair with ‘somebody who was married and told me he would leave his wife,’ she continued, adding, ‘In the end, I found out that wasn’t possible.’
Taryn said she considered herself an ‘ethical and kind person,’ and said she knew ‘what I did was wrong.’
However, she said ‘the heart makes you do crazy things sometimes.’
‘I am sorry for exposing my situation; I am not sorry for how I love,’ she said, noting that she hoped to find ‘somebody who cherishes me the way I adore them.
She said she was looking for ‘a healthy type of love,’ and ‘a love that isn’t so blind that it forces me to be somebody I’m not. With all this said, I am asking everyone to please give me my privacy so I can heal and mend my heart. Thank you,’ she concluded.
Bizarre underwear outing
Taryn sparked concern while stepping out in her underwear in Palm Springs in 2023.
The star was seen walking around Palm Springs with her dog in her arms, wearing black underwear and a crop top, adding a jacket and red mini boots.
Her shock underwear outing came shortly after she defended convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
Defends Danny Masterson after his rape conviction
Her shock underwear outing in 2023 came shortly after she defended convicted rapist Danny Masterson, who was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for the rapes of two women in the early 2000s (Danny pictured in 2017)
She went on to slam Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis (seen with Danny in 2000) for issuing an apology for writing character reference letters for their former co-star
Danny was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for the rapes of two women in the early 2000s.
In a Instagram video uploaded to her account, the actress slammed the public for ‘crucifying’ the actor for making a ‘mistake.’
‘There’s no human on this planet that doesn’t deserve to have the best life and to be happy and free because you are made in the image of the good Lord, made perfectly just the way you are,’ she told her more than 1 million Instagram followers.
Taryn expressed outrage over the public ‘crucifying’ Masterson for his ‘mistake.’
‘He made a mistake, but everyone just keep going, keep crucifying him, as if he’s not already suffering,’ she said, before urging critics to ‘leave him alone.’
She went on to slam Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis for issuing an apology for writing character reference letters for their former co-star.
In the footage, she accused the the couple of humiliating somebody that she ‘actually really loved and cared for.’
Troubled relationship with her makeup artist
Back in 2012, the Static Codes actress was arrested for allegedly attacking her makeup artist Holly Hartman (Pictured in Beverly Hills in June 2011)
Back in 2012, the Static Codes actress was arrested for allegedly attacking her makeup artist Holly Hartman.
She spent the night in jail on misdemeanor charges of assault and strangulation. Taryn was subsequently sentenced to one day of community service.
The charges were later dropped due to her good behavior over the following six months.
In 2015, the assistant and makeup artist filed for a restraining order in Los Angeles.
Holly claimed Taryn had put her in a headlock, headbutted her in the face, whipped her with a wet towel and sprayed Windex in her eyes and mouth, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The judge in LA denied the restraining order because the alleged attacks reportedly took place in New York, which had jurisdiction.
In 2014, the Hustle & Flow actress had another brush with the law for ‘violating her restraining order and making criminal threats against her former roommate, Jeanine Heller,’ according to CBS News.
Breakdown
Taryn was previously taken to psychiatric hospital Silver Hill in nearby Connecticut in 2016, after suffering a breakdown on the Orange Is the New Black set, as per The Hollywood Reporter (pictured in Orange Is The New Black)
She checked out after two days, but later worked with a sober companion for a month (pictured in 2017)

She checked out after two days, but later worked with a sober companion for a month.
At the time she stated she ‘doesn’t have a problem, nor does she partake in drugs of any kind.’
‘I’ve never even seen methamphetamine. Nothing. Never. I’m not saying I’ve never done drugs.
‘I’ve made it clear [on Instagram] that I used to do a bump [of cocaine] here and there, but not anymore,’ she told the publication, adding, ‘I call it the devil’s dandruff — can’t stand it.’
